In recent years, photo exhibitions have mainly employed non-fiction or documentary techniques to convey the artist's philosophy or social message.
In contrast, this work represents an entirely new approach to photo exhibitions, constructed using story-based fiction like novels or films.

Based on an original story written specifically for this work, the two photographers unfold the story by interweaving images that draw on their respective worldviews and sensibilities.
In addition, the exhibition venue effectively incorporates scent and sound, stimulating not only the visual but also the auditory and olfactory senses, directly appealing to the senses and enhancing the sense of immersion in the work.

This work, which combines photography, storytelling, and physical sensations, offers viewers a multi-layered experience and suggests new possibilities that go beyond the confines of a photo exhibition.
